FILTER CARTRIDGE
REPLACEMENT
Complete
the following
steps to replace
the cartridges:
CAUTION:
Never remove sumps with water
pressure in
the filter system.
1. Close the water
supply shutoff valve
(See Fig. 2 on
Page 5) to the filter.
Open
the filtered
water
faucet
to
relieve pressure in the system.
2. Use the sump removal
wrench,
included,
to turn the
sump to the left to loosen it from the filter head.
Be
careful
- the sump is full of water.
Do not lose the
large o-ring
seal.
3. Dispose of the old cartridge
in a proper
manner.
4. Make
sure the inside of the sump is clean.
Use hot,
soapy water
and rinse thoroughly.
5. Remove the wrapper
from the new cartridge
and insert
filter cartridge
into the sump.
Some cartridges
fit
either way, while others fit only one way.
Observe
markings
on the cartridge
or wrapper.
NOTE: If you are using filter
numbers 42-38480
and
42-34373,
place filter 42-38480
(Sediment*)
in
the Filter I position
and place
filter 42-34373
(Taste & Odor)
in the Filter II position
(See Fig. 15).
6. Lightly lubricate
the o-ring
seal in the sump with sili-
cone grease.
Be sure it is fully seated in its groove.
7. Hold the sump up to the filter
head, aligning
the center
hole in the cartridge
with the protrusion
on the bottom
of the head.
NOTE: If the sump will not tighten
up to the head, and
you are using cartridges
other than 42-38480
and
42-34373,
you may have the cartridge
in upside
down.
Take the cartridge
out and check for cor-
rect orientation.
8. Being careful
not to cross-thread,
turn the sump to the
right onto the filter head and tighten
securely.
9. Repeat steps 2 through
8 for the other filter.
10. Open
the filtered
water
faucet.
Then, slowly open the
water
supply valve and allow the filter
housing to fill.
11. Close the filtered
water
faucet.
Check for leaks
between
the sumps and the heads.
12. Remove and replace
the timer battery.
See "Change
Battery"
on Page 9.
Taste and Odor Cartridges:
A taste and odor cartridge
contains
activated
carbon,
a black powder.
When
new,
open the filtered
water
faucet
and allow fine carbon
par-
ticles to purge from the cartridge.
Close the faucet when
you no longer see the "fines"
(carbon
particulates)
in the
filtered
water, or approximately
10 minutes.
* This cartridge
has not been performance
tested and
certified
